ServiceNow CAS-PA ServiceNow Certified Application Specialist - Performance Analytics Exam Exam Practice Test

When you use Analytics Q&A, the suggestions from previous searches are now shown together with the suggested indicators, tables, and columns.

As you type in a query, Analytics Q&A suggests recent searches, indicators, tables, and columns that match what you have typed so far. Only the tables and columns to which you have access are shown.

If Analytics Q&A cannot determine which table you want, it shows you up to three likely tables.

As a responsible user, you can receive email notifications about new or unresolved signals, anti-signals, or any actions taken on signals.

You can configure how frequently you get these reminders and the maximum number of reminders to get for a signal.

You no longer have to open KPI Signals and manually check each KPI for signals.

Scheduling a report for the signal data does not provide real-time updates.

Manually check the KPI for signals and monitoring the signal score on a dashboard requires the user to constantly check for the updates without a pause, which is not easy.

The data visualisation component configuration adds more options and an enhanced user interface.

You can configure new visualisations in Workspace from tables and indicators using the Data Visualisation configuration.

From the UI Builder, you can add visualisations to your landing page based on Performance Analytics and Reporting data. Configure a new visualisation by dragging the Data Visualisation configuration icon onto the Stage pane.

The following styling options are added in the Quebec release:

* Show or hide a visualisation component header on a landing page, along with its label and icons.

* Change score sizes of single score visualisations.

* Set default, palette, or single colour options for data display.

* Sort on categories in bar, pie, and donut visualisations based on table data sources.

* Define data label positions and show labels that overlap on bar visualisations.

Creating a new visualisation type is not an available styling option.

A pie visualisation shows how individual pieces of data relate to the whole using a circle to represent the whole.

A Donut visualization shows how individual pieces of data relate to the whole using a donut shape to represent the whole.

Single score visualisations display a single, key business value or current aggregate indicator score. You can set a score to update in real-time.

The following enhancements are made to pie, donut, and single score visualisations in the Quebec release:

* The metric label name is displayed near the metric value.

* Legend percentages are shown along with values.

* Data labels are shown as only percentages, as values, or as both.

Gradient, texture, or no colour are not valid colour options for data display.

You can set 'default', 'colour palette' and 'fixed element colour' for pie and donut visualisations, and 'default' and 'single colour' for single score visualisations.

Analyse scores using time periods from a custom business calendar instead of only the standard calendar.

When you are creating an Indicator Source, you can select either the standard calendar or a business calendar defined on the instance.

If you use a business calendar, you can create data collection jobs that run on the Business Calendar: Entry start or Business Calendar: Entry end times.

If you select a business calendar, you have the Calendar Frequency field. This field is required. The business calendar you selected determines the range of available frequencies.

(Optional) If you have configured this indicator source to use a business calendar, set the number of periods to retain scores and snapshots and find seasonal patterns.

Enabling ‘Real time update’ from the data update settings updates a single score visualisation in real-time.

‘Show score update time’ shows the timestamp of when the score was last updated.

‘Background refresh interval (minutes)’ shows how often, in minutes, the landing page refreshes the visualisation if you have navigated away from it.

With ‘Live refresh rate (seconds)’, you can choose the frequency in non-decimal seconds to have a single score reporting widget refresh. If set at '0', the score does not refresh.

Here are the available related lists on the baseline configuration when navigating to the Formula Indicators form: Breakdowns, Contributing Indicators, Time series exclusions, Targets, Thresholds, and Diagnostic Results.

‘Signals’ is not an out-of-the-box related list on the Formula Indicators form.

Use the Contributing indicators related list to navigate to the indicators used in the formula or their indicator sources. If you include another formula indicator in the formula, both that indicator and its contributing indicators are listed.
